Samson went down to Timnah. There in Timnah a woman caught his eye, a Philistine girl. He came back and told his father and mother, “I saw a woman in Timnah, a Philistine girl; get her for me as my wife.” His parents said to him, “Isn’t there a woman among the girls in the neighborhood of our people? Do you have to go get a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?” But Samson said to his father, “Get her for me. She’s the one I want—she’s the right one.” (His father and mother had no idea that GOD was behind this, that he was arranging an opportunity against the Philistines. At the time the Philistines lorded it over Israel.) Samson went down to Timnah with his father and mother. When he got to the vineyards of Timnah, a young lion came at him, roaring. The Spirit of GOD came on him powerfully and he ripped it open barehanded, like tearing a young goat. But he didn’t tell his parents what he had done. Then he went on down and spoke to the woman. In Samson’s eyes, she was the one.

A 4-day devotional inspired by the movie, SAMSON, based on the original epic story found in Judges 13-16. SAMSON was set apart and chosen by God, and given supernatural strength to bring hope and freedom to God’s people. He made some bad choices, but God enabled him to finish strong, and become a hero of faith we read about later in Hebrews 11. Plan written by Cassie Littel

For about a year and a half, I struggled with something. I couldn’t quite name it or figure it out; I just knew something wasn’t right. I discovered that the devil was DISTRACTING me! I share about how this dangerous ploy of the enemy can be used to destroy the calling and purpose God has for us and how we can put an end to it!
The Bible doesn't shy away from the reality of masculine instincts, nor all of the ways those instincts can lead to destruction. Examining the lives of five men from the Bible, The 5 Masculine Instincts shows that these men aren't masculine role models or heroes but are men who wrestled with their own desires and, by faith, matured them into something better.

Samson is perhaps one of the most head-scratching characters in the Old Testament. Although anointed by God, his life didn’t always reflect it. Join us as we study his time as the last judge of Israel in Judges 13-16 and see how we are not so different from Samson and how God can truly use anyone to accomplish His purposes.
